Waddles is a 7-year-old American Pitbull Terrier in Indian Trail, NC, who needs $2,000 for Heat Stroke.

Wadddles was rescued from the CMPD shelter January 2022. I saw her and immediately bonded with her and brought her home. I dont know much about her time before us. But I do know she was overbred for puppies and was not well taken care of. She was massively overweight and did not like men. In the past year and a half, she has changed dramatically from the 1st time I brought her home.

Waddles has 2 little adoptive pup sisters and 2 cat cousins. Her favorite person is her human boy. Wads climbs up her stairs to get into bed every day. Most days she prefers to stay in the bed. She's just an old lady who prefers to be wrapped up under the blankets!

When Waddles is enjoying her pets, she chomps her mouth like a little gator. She's our little waddie gator. Its the cutest thing I've ever seen. She's also much smaller that her sisters, and they love playing with her, and they let her "get" them and she just gets so excited to play.

Waddles was outside playing when she suffered heat stroke. She's been in the ICU at the vet hospital since 7/1. The vets are doing everything they can and have been optimistic about her recovery. We will fight every day until she is better.

We have currently maxed out our credit cards, and vet care credits. We are continuing to try to find ways to keep going with her care. We will do whatever it takes. Waddles means the world to me and I can't imagine my life without her in it.
